I'd describe the brain zaps as feeling as though there's so much static electricty running through my head that my hair would stand up if you passed your hand near it.
Bran shivers, though, are more analogous to the brain freeze you get from eating ice cream too fast. Sort of a mild version of that sensation.
During withdrawal, I had both -- but the really ugly part was that they came with a wicked headache, too. I think if it hadn't been for the pain, those sensations on their own might not have been so bad.
The thread that Valene linked to has some great descriptions in it, and I recommend it to anyone who wants more input.
